Question 2: What is the most valuable?

Answer: Courage

Trick or Treating: prompt: Spooky

Another Weasley, eh?

Fred smirked at the voice in the hat. Course, there are seven of us. You're not through with us yet. And I think you know exactly where to put me, yes?

What if I didn't?

Fred mentally frowned. Why wouldn't you?

Sometimes I like to spark things up a bit.

Well, I could always help out by filling your next school year with abundant pranks and trips to the Black Lake - by pipe, of course.

The Sorting Hat chuckled.

You, my boy, have great courage. Threatening the Sorting Hat. That's a new one. I know exactly where to put you. Better be -

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Fred grinned and ran down to the table, sliding into place between his brother Percy and Oliver Wood.

"How come it took so long? No Weasley has ever ended up outside of Gryffindor, so the Hat should've just stuck you here immediately!" Percy said agitatedly. He looked up where George was being Sorted, nervous.

"Oh, sorry, I was just threatening the Sorting Hat. No biggie," Fred said offhandedly, waving to this brother as George headed towards the Gryffindor table.

Oliver and Percy stared at the first year.

"You threatened the Sorting Hat?" Percy hissed.

"With what?!" Oliver gasped, laughing.

"Oh, just abundant pranks and a few trips to the Black Lake through the sewers. Nothing major."

"Nothing major? You've got guts, kid," Oliver said appraisingly. He looked at the twins. "You two play Quidditch?"

Percy groaned. "Oh, Oliver, no. Not more Quidditch!"

"Hey, Percy-"

"-the Prat-"

"Quidditch is the-"

"-absolute best-"

"-in the entire world," the twins said, rapidly switching off with ease and precision.

Percy groaned and banged a hand to his head, but Oliver just looked at them critically.

"Spooky. The talking thing. But I wonder if you could be just as in sync in a Beater position... our Beaters are graduating this year," Oliver mused, then jumped from his seat.

"I'm off to find Charlie," he said, and dashed off.

Fred and George glanced at each other, then at their brother, who still had his back turned and his eyes closed.

And they grinned.
